City Walks Vancouver #42: Lynn Canyon Park
Warm day, cool waters makes for a nice dip in Lynn Canyon Park's 30-foot pool. That was exactly what the group that had gathered here had in mind on one of the uncommonly above 80-degree days experienced here in Vancouver. Not far from Lynn Canyon's suspension bridge, this oasis is tucked away in the middle of the forest and is a great getaway to enjoy the natural beauty of BC's forests. I found some brave souls diving into this natural pool along with a number of spectators cheering them on. The lesser known suspension bridge here at Lynn Canyon Park is smaller and narrower than Capilano's, but also a lot less touristy. Perhaps the best thing about it is that it's free and along with it you'll find 617 acres of forest to roam. The overly-priced Capilano Suspension Bridge may be more family-friendly with wider trails, well-placed educational kiosks and staff musicians, but Lynn Canyon Park is the local's best kept secret with more trails of varying degrees of difficulty, a natural 30-foot pool, waterfalls and its very own suspension bridge.
Located only 20 minutes north of the city, this park is a great place to soak up the natural beauty of Vancouver and best of all it won't cost you a dime for parking or entrance to the park. For more photos, click here.
